  1. There is Hope • Part 3 • Hope of getting over my hurts

  2. “Forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors …For if you forgive others when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Matthew 6:12&14

  3. I. WHY FORGIVE? • 1. God has forgiven me • “…Be ready to forgive, never hold grudges. Remember the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.” Colossians 3:13 (LB)

  4. One of the biggest reasons that people have a hard time forgiving others: • They don’t feel forgiven themselves.

  5. 2. Resentment doesn’t work • “To worry yourself to death with resentment would be a foolish, senseless thing to do.” • Job 5:2 (GN)

  6. Why is resentment foolish and senseless? • A. Resentment doesn’t change anything. • B. Resentment makes you act stupid. • C. Resentment never hurts the other person but it always hurts you.

  7. 3. I’ll need forgiveness in the future • “When you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive you your sins too.” Mark 11:25 (LB)

  8. God forgives us when we forgive others. • As a Christian, forgiveness is not optional, it is a command. We must forgive.

  9. II. HOW TO GET OVER A HURT • 1. NEVER RETALIATE • “Don’t take it on yourself to repay a wrong. Trust the Lord and he will make it right.” • Proverbs 20:22 (GN)

  10. 2. DEAL WITH IT IMMEDIATELY • “Don’t sin by nursing your grudge. Don’t let the sun go down with you still angry – get over it quickly.” Ephesians 4:26

  11. “… go at once to make peace with your brother…” • Matthew 5:24 (GN)

  12. Four things you can do with a hurt: • A. Nurse it • B. Curse it • C. Rehearse it • D. Disperse it

  13. 3. FORGIVE THEM WHETHER THEY ASK FOR IT OR NOT. • “…forgive each other as readily as God forgave you in Christ.” • Ephesians 4:32 (JB)

  14. Forgiveness is not: • Pretending that something had not happened • B. Ignoring the hurt • C. Saying that it’s no big deal.

  15. We should forgive exactly like God forgives me • Freely • Instantly • Completely • Continually

  16. 4. DO GOOD TO THEM • “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who use you, and pray for those who mistreat you…you will have a great reward in heaven.” • Luke 6:27-28, 35

  17. As long as I hate someone they control me. • If you don’t release the person who has offended you, you will start to resemble that person.

  18. Four ways to take control: • Love • Do good • Bless • Pray
